Ed Wells

Twenty year old Sydney-sider Ed Wells has recently found himself making an impression in both the UK and his homeland of Australia. The singer/songwriter spent much of 2014 in the UK, performing a number of showcase gigs, including a spot on stage at the renowned Troubadour Club in London.

Time spent growing up between London, Hong Kong and Sydney has helped shape his song-writing and musical style. Ed combines a powerful and beautiful voice with highly accomplished piano skills and a level of songwriting ability and maturity that belies his young age. He describes his style as an eclectic mix of alternative folk/soul/pop with musical influences such as Jeff Buckley, Ben Howard, Vance Joy and Matt Corby. The AU Review described him as “a husky-voiced piano man par excellence…(with) a voice that would melt butter” (April 2014).

After attracting attention from several labels in the UK, Ed returns to Australia in early 2015 to release his new single “Sparrow and Seed” (see below), accompanied by some select East Coast shows. “Sparrow and Seed” is from Ed’s upcoming first long-play release, slated for mid-2015. The single gives you an indication of the talents of this promising young artist.
